The Portland Art Museum (PAM) is the seventh oldest museum in the country and the oldest art museum on the West Coast. In addition to a permanent collection that includes pieces from antiquity to Post Modern, PAM also owns one of the nation's largest Native American art archives. With exhibits from all continents, there is a wing dedicated to contemporary pieces and a gallery of photography. Part of PAM is the Northwest Film Center which has regular film screenings in the Whitsell Auditorium located on the Museum's lower level.
